    It's hard to find quality empanadas in this town. Most are soft, doughy, bland fillings & disappointing. Seatango's empanadas are a game changer! These flaky, crispy on the outside, on the inside you'll discover evenly proportioned perfectly seasoned, savory fillings full of substantial ingredients are just simply delightful! We got the ground beef, the chicken and ham&cheese options and believe you me, there's nothing 'nada about these empanadas. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop is conveniently located on Lake City Way, modest size seating area and noticeably filled with South American patrons speaking in Spanish to the business owner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This place is legit! If you crave a delicious empanada on the go as a snack or a large order for a special event, this is the spot! Sidenote: They also offer square cut Argentinian style pizzas which looked delicious! Check their hours. They close early before the Lake City night of the walking dead wakes up in the area. Pardon the unprofessional pics but we couldn't wait to get our grubs on!

    Tucked in a Lake City neighborhood, this place is quite a hidden gem and a local business worth visiting. This place serves mostly empanadas and Argentine pastries, all of which were pretty solid. I got 2 empanadas (beef and breakfast - bacon egg cheese) and an alfajor cookie sandwich. The empanadas were flaky and delicious with generous amounts of fillings. I liked the beef the most based on flavor profile, but the breakfast one is good if you wanted a fairly hearty empanada. Don't forget to get the chimichurri which is a $1 add on that's worthwhile. The alfajor cookie sandwich (alfajores) has dulce de leche filling and it was not unbearably sweet compared to the ones I had in Buenos Aires grocery stores, so I enjoyed it. I personally wouldn't go out of my way since I don't like extra sweet desserts, but it's worth to try at least once. Surprisingly, the prices via Grubhub pickup were lower than the in person menu and other apps so I opted to use Grubhub whilst also using up my credits, so that allowed me to check this place out for the first time!

    Along busy Lake City Way, it might be easy to miss this place. But don't! I've yet to have an empanada there I don't like, and love grabbing a couple for lunch. But don't forget their alfajores, which are traditional Argentine pastries, almost like large macaroons, but not nearly as expensive. And so tasty. Definitely worth a try. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can't miss them when you walk in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Desserts galore!

    I ordered a variety of alfajores and pastries for a group gathering and they were a huge hit! Loved the flavors and texture of them and the owner was very friendly.

    This is our go-to stop by Argentinian facturas/pastries! Especially when my folks come into to town, we love to eat there! We always get chicken and beef empanadas. We tried their pizza too, which was hot and fresh! Their customer service was, and is always, super nice. We've been there more times than I can count. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tables are nice and clean too![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend stopping by and treating yourself to the pastries!

    My daughter and I discovered this gem when we decided to walk to school today. It was hidden and can't really tell it's a pastry shop but the smell made me go back and check. They have a variety of sweets as well as other types of food. The lady that was helping us was so sweet and knew about her product and explained all the different options. We didn't dine but took a pastry and went our way, if you are around the area, check them out.

    Hands down amazing place. From the food, to the service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A well ran, high quality, fun neighborhood location for delicous baked empenadas of all flavors, desserts, coffee and more[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Cannot recommend this place enough. It's always a treat when visiting Seatango, you will always leave waiting to go back for more.

    Came here after some apple picking and thought the food was pretty good. We will definitely be back to try their other foods. Parking is limited to street parking only. It looks like the lady is training a new hire so it was a little slow. But they are really nice. I originally wanted the Italiano and the tuna empanada but both was not available so we ended up with the following: - beef empanada - standard, has a piece of olive in there so the flavor was unique - ham and cheese - another standard one -onions -- this is my favorite as it has a sweet and savory flavor. - egg and spinach ---fluffyband stuffed, a little bland but not bad. The chimichurri sauce that they give you is probably the star. We literally was dipping it with everything. The mild and spicy was both good. Maybe the empanadas was made a little bland so you can dip it?? Who cares, it was good :) oh and I love that they have the name of their store on the empanadas We also got a croissant because it looks different and it was delicious. It's not the typical croissant but I love the flavor of it. It's not super flaky but it does have a subtle crunch. Overall, I would come back if I'm in the area:)

    Order on GrubHub comes sealed w utensils!

    Normally I wait to savor and think about the food experience before I write a 5-star review for restaurants but in the case of Seatango I could not wait! I ordered the 3-empanada combo through GrubHub and it comes with your choice of can soda and a chimichurri sauce. I ordered the spicy cheese and onion empanada and two spinach empanadas. My items arrived hot and fresh with an ice cold soda. How they managed to keep the food hot and the drink cold I'm not sure but I'm so glad they figured it out! I had been excited to try this place for months so I'm glad I was finally able to have their delicious eats! My gold standard that I compare all empanadas to come from Julia's empanadas in the nation's capital. I always loved the large portion sizes and the flaky fresh baked version of these and could not find a comparable empanada. Alas, Seatango has done it! I am eager to try their other options and hope they have the spicy tuna the next time I order.

    Empanadas!!!

    Great service, and even better empanadas... We have 4 empanadas to go last weekend. The person serving us made sure we could recognize the markings/indicators for each flavor and how to tell which chimichurri was regular and which one was spicy. The beef, four cheese and ham, spicy tuna and corn empanadas were all good. I think the tuna one was my favorite. We shared an alfajore, which had good flavor yet was a bit dry (which can easily happen with such a cookie) We'd go back!!

    An update. Seatango now has its own freestanding location in Lake City (after a startup incubation at Tukwila's Spice Bridge). Hurrah! This couple has worked towards this for decades and deserves support. The food is amazing, and these two do it all (for now...hopefully, they can get an employee or two soon). One comment. While we where there I observed two or three people who entered, heard Monica speaking Spanish to someone, and turned and walked out. Hey, they speak English too. How petty do you have to be to walk out simply because the owner is speaking Spanish to a customer who chose to speak to her in Spanish. Wow. We had some empanadas, which were even better than they used to be. Transcendent. The chimichurri sauce made them even more so. And there are some new empanada flavors like spicy tuna, and corn, and spicy onions and cheese. The old favorites are still there too. We also had a choripán. That's a deceptively simple (bread, sausage, and chimichurri) but exceptionally delicious Argentinean sandwich. The secret is the kind of bread, the particular sausage, the perfectly crafted chimichurri, and the technique for constructing it all. It was superb. Carried out many facturas, some alfajores, and more empanadas. Be patient. They just opened, there are only two people (the owners), and they still (for now) live a long ways away from the cafe (that's why they close at 4pm for now). Get there early to get the best selection and support this wonderful local business. Will definitely be back.

The garlicky oily dipping sauce added even more flavor to the savory empanadas and gave me dragon breath all day but it was so worth it! There is a good amount of seating here. I love the futbol decor and airiness of the place. There is some lot parking out front and street parking is also an option and where I found parking. The only downside to my experience coming here recently is how they forgot to include my ham & cheese empanada in the to go box that was nicely packaged and sealed so I couldn't check to see if it was there until I unpacked my order and found that it was not there. I didn't want to deal with the hassle of calling them to get a refund for it or drive back for it. Also, I don't feel like giving them one less star right now on this review because of it.

Anyways, we stopped here for a quick bite, since it has a very unique Venezuelan arepas that you cannot find anywhere else in the city. We got the sifrina and the Seattle arepas, and the portions were ridiculously generous. The shredded beef and the cheese filled up the fluffy yet crispy arepa shell, which was a delight to eat. It also has a row of different sauces to try on the table we sat down, which made the whole experience more fun. Trying out chipotle sauce and comparing it to garlic habanero sauce was just added an additional layer of fun to eating it in the restaurant. The service was quick and helped us answer how they were prepared. You couldn't ask for more at a place like this. The vibes in the restaurant also definitely improved, since the last location. Much cleaner and more spacious. With the ample parking spots nearby too, it should be easy to access this location from now on. At any rate, amazing Venezuelan arepas place. I'd recommend if you were hankering for a good Latin American food place. Or if you needed some hangover curing greasy food!

I also enjoyed their sauces and it is just fun to experiment with different sauces and enjoying the flavors. I won't be surprised if all their sauces were housemade.

New York was crawling in delicious Southern American food. So we decided to go on an adventure to Tacoma and visit this establishment, and I'm so glad we did. Upon walking in, the space is decorated in Colombian flags, license plates, banners, and other miscellaneous decor. The tropicana radio station playing in the back made us feel like we were back in Manizales for a brief moment. We were greeted with kindness and curiosity as we exchanged cultural backgrounds. Foods that we ate: - Pandebono (Plain, with no guyaba): One of the many famous breads Colombia has to offer, the flavor was spot on. Savory and cheesy with a nice chew. It was more airy than I was anticipating, so a lot of empty pockets while eating it (it's usually denser), but still delicious nonetheless. If you like a sweet surprise, would recommend getting the pandebono with guyaba inside. - Buñuelo: Another great cheese bread in the shape of a sphere and fried. The inside was super soft and airy as well which is more on brand for this! Although not typically crunchy or hard, the shell did lack a bit of toughness that's normally expected. Again, did not take away from the enjoyable experience otherwise. - Bandeja Paísa: Nearly perfect, we were both so stunned. The chorizo and chicharron were AMAZING. The chicharron had the perfect amount of meat, more crunchy than chewy which is what we preferred. I don't know what blend the chorizo is made out of, but it was packed with flavor. The steak was a little tough but still delicious. Avocado, fried egg, the arepa, all complemented the dish well. I personally don't like maduros, but the one in this dish was not too sweet at all, delicious. The frijoles were also packed with flavor, giving the rice a wonderful flavor to soak up. We definitely need to come back and have their churrasco for sure. If you're Colombian in the Seattle area or are looking to try Colombian food for the first time, this is a must visit!!!

She insisted we take a huge loaf of sesame bread on the house which was fresh, fragrant, and with a nice chewy, tight crumb.

Not my cup of tea, but the flavor was good like a stewed beef. Ham and Cheese: Gooey cheese with diced ham. This was on the salty side, but it was very good. The cheese is more on the saucy side (as opposed to stringy) so be aware of drippage when eating. Spinach and Feta: This reminded me of spanakopita and probably my favorite out of the bunch. The pastry for the empanadas was very good, flaky with a nice chew. I could probably eat it by itself with no filling. I will definitely come back to try all the other fillings. They also offer some desserts they looked nice.

It was a busy Thanksgiving weekend. They are located across the Farmers Market. Got two each of the beef and chicken empanadas. They are both tasty and delicious with lots of flavors but they are unreasonably priced at $8 a piece which wasn't stated anywhere on their menu board and only got the shock when I paid for them but the beef is made with lean ground organic beef and the chicken with organic shredded chicken breasts. Maybe that's why? I dunno, organic tends to be more expensive. Each beef or chicken empanada was garnished with onions, garlic, olives, pimientos, raisins, eggs, red & green bell peppers, some yummy spices and sauteed in olive oil and butter... that's a lot of stuff crammed in those empanadas. They also have salmon empanadas and ham and cheese empanadas. I'd probably get my empanadas elsewhere but this was the touristy Pike Place after all. Review #3615
